Wallaceburg, a progressive industrial community, has
always been on the move. Its reliance on the local waterways through the
Sydenham and Chenal Ecarte
Rivers illuminates an important lifeline in the town. The rivers'
influence spans from the lumber boom days of the last century through
the industrial periods to a primarily recreational view of Wallaceburg's
waterways. The wide variety of images in this collection reflects the
many facets of the community at both work and play. Wallaceburg: Faces
and Places displays photographs from the collections of the Wallaceburg
and District Museum, the Mann Historical Files, and Roy Mathany, who
covered the World War II years via the Dominion Glass War Services
Committee.
